Luna Classic Increases 10% after recession crypto sell-off
The last 24 hours haven't brought any drastic changes to the crypto market, with most top-ranked assets pretty much dropping around 10%
Bitcoin hit below $20,000, and it's still struggling to keep just above the $20,000 target. Nonetheless, the weekly price action still signals a bullish market, and the last seven days has been a great boost of confidence for investors.
After a great monthly run, Terra Classic (LUNC) is one of the cryptos that have been hit the most during last week, with a decrease of around 14%. Today, however, even after the crypto sell-off, LUNC managed to keep a +10% as opposed to nearly every other big crypto in the market.
This means that Terra's bullish momentum hasn't come to an end yet.
Multiple other altcoins have also recorded solid returns, but industry experts are saying that investors should be wary of bear traps and the September effect".
Currently, meme coins are holding their ground the best, with Tamadoge leading the pack.
Terra Luna Classic (LUNC) Hits a Roadblock - Is the Bullish Trend Over?Terra Classic is still successfully holding its $0.000350 price, but it did go through a 25% decrease that plunged it from the $0.00059 high achieved on September 7th.
Some analysts are still suggesting that Terra Classic can reach the $0.00088 mark, even despite the decline in the last 24 hours.
So, what exactly is causing this current hype around Terra Classic?
According to analysts, it's the announcement from Binance that stated the platform would introduce a 1.2% tax burn mechanism.
But, as it turns out, this might no longer be the case.
Binance is the most dominant platform on the market when it comes to LUNC/Fiat trading pairs seeing that it's responsible for almost 47% of the overall trading volume.
If it decides not to incorporate the tax burning mechanism (for now), we might be looking at the end of Terra Classic's bullish trend.
Furthermore, an increasing number of analysts are warning investors to be careful with their LUNC investments.
They're reminding everyone that LUNC already had a complete collapse earlier this year and that assets with that kind of volatility could crash just as easily as they rise.
Should Investors be Worried about the September Effect?At the beginning of September, Bitcoin dropped to $18,600, one of the biggest lows it faced this year.
It managed to recover in the following days and maintained the $19,200 target, but struggled to surpass $19,500.
This changed in the last few days and Bitcoin currently surpassed the $22,000 mark during last week.
While this is great news, investors should still be wary of the September effect. As of the 13th, Bitcoin and other crypto have seen people desperately dump their positions in the market, as the inflation signs keep coming forward every month.
Analysts say that historical data suggests that BTC could go through several declines throughout September - the asset's worst-performing month in general since 2013.
Only on two occasions has Bitcoin seen price increases in September in the last 9 years - 2015 and 2016. Every other year, September tends to bring a 6-7% decline.
According to industry experts, September in general is a bad month for both the crypto and the stock market.
The reason for this could be that the majority of investors tend to leave their market positions during September so they can lock in their gains and tax losses.
Also, schools start in September, which means a certain percentage of investors typically need a higher rate of asset liquidation to pay for school costs.
Ever since the pandemic, the price of Bitcoin has mirrored the performance of the S&P 500, so it's entirely possible that BTC will face further decline towards the end of the month, just like the stock market.
Tamadoge Is the Safest Alternative for SeptemberEven though you should be careful about which investments you make in September, analysts suggest that Tamadoge might be the safest alternative.
Tamadoge is a meme cryptocurrency that incorporates its own Metaverse, an NFT store, a P2E game, and comes with utility.
The Tamaverse is the virtual world where users will be able to communicate, play games, stake tokens, and more. TAMA is the native governance token and primary platform currency.
Players that want to participate in the P2E game need to acquire pet NFTs that they later take care of and train for battles.
Even though the presale for TAMA tokens started in the middle of a severe bear market, both the beta phase and the official presale were immensely successful.
Almost 80% of the released token amount has been sold out, but investors still have a chance to capture the low price of TAMA tokens (1 USDT for 40 tokens).
The amount of popularity that Tamadoge has already amassed is amazing considering that the project hasn't even gone viral yet.
According to experts, we can expect up to 100x returns by the end of the year once the project gets listed on major CEXs and releases its AR (augmented reality) app.
